Fear that rot is not tactical or Mancini, but the casual mentality of the players we saw last season. That's not easy to fix.Bert Trautmann's Parachute said:Hopefully it's just people venting their anger rather than people's real thoughts, which would be pretty sad.Ducado said:Pablo1 said:I'm sure you will do your utmost to keep it flowing along nicely mate..(yep, I appreciate the irony of my post!

Anyone trying to point score after today needs to take a look at themselves. Mancini has gone, and even if he was still here the evidence points to us not doing a great deal better than how we got on today. I'm gutted about the result, and in many ways our overall performance was identical to many of last seasons aways - however there are loads of things to stay positive about and as long as we buy some quality back up for Vinny/Nasty we will finish there or thereabouts.
That said if we fail to bring somebody else in at the back I genuinely worry about us.
There has been nothing more than point scoring on an epic scale tonight, which is something I feared would happen, especially after Dave and Billy were rubbing peoples noses in it after Monday, it's all a bit sad really

I didn't expect to see it all soon in our first away game

As you can tell by my post count i don't post too often, although i do look in pretty much every day. I've spent most of the summer reading comments from Billy Shears & Didsbury Dave and the like about how shit Mancini was and how wonderful MP is.
let me tell you this, Mancini was a WINNER whilst Pellegrini is the Latin version of Kevin Keegan (Entertaining...but NO trophies!!) he has spent ( backed by Cheeky & Sorry)£84m on attack-minded players.
Last season Mancini wanted Van Persie, Hazard And De Rossi.....Total cost about £90m, instead he was given Garcia, Sinclair and 'injury prone' Rodwell!!
Had Mancini got his men last summer we could, probably WOULD have won the double and progressed further in the Champions league!!
It seems to me that we have got the best owner in football, Also in Al Mubarak we have the best chairman. trouble is, since the takeover we've lacked someone with a general understanding of premier league football who can run the club on a day-to-day basis!
Firstly we had that bungling bafoon Gary Cook, then the incompetent Brian Marwood and now we have the two Spanish 'wide boys' handing out jobs for the boys!
I hope to god I'm wrong but i believe sacking Mancini will come back to haunt us and all us 'fan boys' will be shaking our heads in disbelief at the Cheeky & Sorry 'fan boys' (Billy and Co) thinking "what the fuck have we done!!!"
